பற்றி · About

The Pelethites were an elite military unit that served as part of King David's personal guard and army, often mentioned alongside the Cherethites (2Sa.8.18; 15.18; 20.7,23; 1Ki.1.38,44; 1Ch.18.17). They were known for their loyalty to David and played a significant role in supporting him during his reign. The Pelethites and Cherethites were likely foreign mercenaries, possibly of Philistine origin, who had pledged their allegiance to David. They were involved in key events, such as helping David quell Absalom's rebellion (2Sa.15.18) and supporting Solomon's claim to the throne (1Ki.1.38,44). The presence of these elite warriors demonstrates David's military strength and the diversity of his army.
